Recently I attended an office event and an agent approached me asking several questions about the upcoming company name and brand change. The agent was running out of her personalized Prudential Select Properties envelopes and was unsure about ordering 2000 more since they will be obsolete in the future. The creative solution she came up with was to make her envelopes in Publisher and print them on her office’s black and white copier.

At Prudential Select Properties we offer a great pre-created listing presentation that our Realtors can customize for their personal marketing efforts. The presentation can be found on the PSP Resource Center. (on the Home page of the backdoor of the website click the Downloads link) The printable listing presentation we offer is created in Microsoft Word. Unlike Publisher, where a picture can be changed by right-clicking on it and choosing Change Picture, there are a few steps to switch out a picture in Word.

Facebook is one of the top social networking sites and has a strong user base of around 900 million users. The social networking website lets people easily connect with each other, share current events and memories with their friends, and do a lot more. For Realtors, it is a great opportunity to remind friends and family on Facebook (those most likely to do business with you) that they are in real estate and is also a good way to keep the public at large informed of the great resources they have in their local Realtor.

Are you looking to move into the Marquette or Parkway school districts in West St. Louis County? Now may be a good time to consider purchasing a home in the area.

To stay competitive most real estate websites these days allow consumers to see most all information without requiring any form of registration. However some agents have found that they still prefer to have a ‘gatekeeper’ feature on their website to prompt users to register as a lead.
